Are YOU a Taylor Swift superfan? This could be your dream job… The V&A museum looks to hire an expert with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Grammy-winning singer
- The lucky employee will hold the title of Taylor Swift Superfan Adviser
She has the power to influence the US presidential elections, helped save the US economy and made Grammy Award history this year.
Now the Victoria and Albert Museum has created a job for an official Taylor Swift expert.
The museum, in Kensington, west London, hopes to display memorabilia, handmade signs and merchandise associated with the pop star ahead of her upcoming European tour.
The lucky employee will go by the title of Taylor Swift Superfan Adviser and is expected to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the singer, with bosses looking to give the job to an ‘eager to learn Swiftie’.
It’s one of nine new courses the museum is introducing for superfans and collectors of Crocs, Pokemon cards, Lego, Emojis and Drag.

They hope that the positions will stimulate knowledge within the museum and bring in basic knowledge.
It comes after research commissioned by the V&A found that 44 percent of Brits consider items in their own niche collections worthy of a place in a museum.
V&A director Dr Tristram Hunt said: ‘These new advisory roles will help us celebrate and explore the enormous, and often surprising, creative diversity that the V&A has to offer.’

And the 34-year-old, who supported Joe Biden in 2020, could even influence the 2024 US election.
A Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll last month found that 18 percent of voters were “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate supported by Ms Swift.
